Can a home care agency make caregivers sign a non-compete in Wyoming?
Last verified October 17, 2026 · All Wyoming resources
Banned. Wyoming voids any covenant not to compete that restricts a person's right to be paid for skilled or unskilled labor. Exceptions cover the sale of a business, protection of trade secrets, limited recovery of relocation and training costs, and executive and management personnel and their professional staff. Hourly caregivers do not fall within these exceptions.
| Status | Banned |
|---|---|
| Healthcare-specific rule | Non-competes between physicians that restrict the practice of medicine after the relationship ends are void; physicians may tell patients with rare disorders where they are practicing. |
| Statute | Wyo. Stat. § 1-23-108 |
| Latest change | 2025-07-01 |
What about a client hiring your caregiver directly?
That is usually handled in the client service agreement, not the caregiver's contract: some agencies charge a placement or conversion fee if a client hires a caregiver directly. Whether that clause is enforceable is a contract question, so have a local employment lawyer review it.
What should you confirm?
The statute does not expressly address customer non-solicitation clauses; confirm before relying on one.
